read-from-string-safely

Like read-from-string and takes similar
arguments and behaves the same when there is no error (except for the
package argument, see below). But if an error is signaled during the
read, this function catches the error and returns nil, the value of the :end argument, and the
condition signaled.

read-from-string does not
accept the optional package argument. If supplied, it must be a
package object, or a string or symbol naming a package. The value of
*package* is
bound to that package while the string is read.
